[Intro] [Verse 1] Beyond the quiet, unseen veil, Where cosmic forces weave their tale. The soul desires to move and build, A physical form that must be filled. We need the friction and the heat, To make the earthly heartbeats beat. We gather stardust, ash, and clay, To step into the light of day! [Pre-Chorus] The spark of an exploding star, That pulls the spirit from afar. Down into the flesh and bone, Where eternal light is turned to stone! [Chorus] Oh, Substance Twenty-Three! The kernel of gravity! Pulling the unseen spirit down into reality! The heavy cosmic engine, the fire and the strife, Forging our intentions into solid earthly life! You are the primal pillar, the friction and the heat, Anchoring the universe beneath our physical feet! [Verse 2] Described within the Book of Life, The primal energy of strife. You balance out the intellect, A heavy force we must respect. When flesh is left and bodies fall, You wait behind the cosmic wall. An eternal seed in the ancient dark, Ready to ignite the vital spark! [Pre-Chorus] The spark of an exploding star, That pulls the spirit from afar. Down into the flesh and bone, Where eternal light is turned to stone! [Chorus] Oh, Substance Twenty-Three! The kernel of gravity! Pulling the unseen spirit down into reality! The heavy cosmic engine, the fire and the strife, Forging our intentions into solid earthly life! You are the primal pillar, the friction and the heat, Anchoring the universe beneath our physical feet! [Bridge] The temperature rising, the friction, the drive! The heavy resistance that makes us alive! When the soul wants to struggle, to conquer and act, You turn the illusion to physical fact! [Final Chorus] Oh, Substance Twenty-Three! The kernel of gravity! Pulling the unseen spirit down into reality! The heavy cosmic engine, the fire and the strife, Forging our intentions into solid earthly life! You are the primal pillar, the friction and the heat, Anchoring the universe beneath our physical feet! [Outro] Holding the spirit to the stone... Making the heavy world our own... The talent kernel... Substance twenty-three. [End]
